MV. PINGHU is completely different from other Yangtze River Ships in design and shape. Its hull is made of closed glass curtain wall, which gives her a highly faired style that only the luxurious ocean liners possess. The VS-made glass curtain walls, which have a green coaling reflect the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River. When the scenery changes, the reflection on the hull changes at the same time, and the green mountains, blue water, small bridges and villages merge will with the ship. In fact, the ship itself is a good sight on the Yangtze River.
MV. PINGHV has comprehensive service facilities including shops, business center, IDD telephone booth, hair and beauty salon, health center, recreation center, karaoke hall, coffee shop, dining hall that serves both Chinese and Western food and Sundeck. There is also a VS and Swedish made steam room, a sauna and a hot and cold-water whirlpool bath. The ship also boasts a small orchestra of foreign musicians.
The classic, aristocratic interior of MV. PINGHU was designed in consultation with the US Designer' Business Center.
Most of it is made of marble, copper and Thai wood in a Western Style. The public rooms and private cabins are carpeted with handmade pure wool. The sanitary equipment is made in Italy. On the whole, the ship is like a five-star hotel. The cabins on MV. PINGHU are larger than those on most Passenger sips; Standard rooms are as large as 19 square meters. The multifunction entertainment hall on the 4th floor, which can be divided into several sections, covers an area of 1,200 square meters and can hold 500 guests.

Every ship has different schedule for upstream (Yichang to Chongqing) and down stream (Chongqing to Yichang), the ship tries to pass the most splendid part of the gorges in the day time. However, the following differences are still worth considering when you decide which to take.
- Shore excursions. The places that a ship will stop for shore excursions are the Ghost City, the Wan county, the Shibaozhai, the White Emperor City, the Lesser Three Gorges, the Shennong Stream, the Three Gorges dam site, the Jingzhou and the Yueyang Tower. Every ship has its own itinerary and won't cover them all. Even as to a single ship, itineraries of upstream and downstream sailings are also probably different. Take the itinerary of Regal China in 2003 for an instance. The shore excursions are to the Ghost City, the Shennong Stream and the Three Gorges dam site when the ship sails downstream and to the Three Gorges dam site, the Lesser Three Gorges and Wan county when sailing upstream.
- Time. Sailings upstream take one or two more days than sailings downstream.
- Price. Price of upstream sailings is lower than that of downstream sailings for large part of the ships.
